If you want me to do it then I will, but don't ask to write all the code in the forum. :-) As for your "drawback" | public interface MetaDataContext extends MetaDataRetrieval | | AND | | /** | * Create a new AbstractMetaDataContext. | * | * @param parent the parent | * @param retrievals the retrievals | */ | public AbstractMetaDataContext(MetaDataContext parent, List<MetaDataRetrieval> retrievals) | Since you need to reference ALL the local retrievals. For the INSTANCE scope there's only probably one, but that certainly isn't true for a generic scope. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4080853#...
